You’re looking at an exciting life ahead of you with a person you love dearly. Life couldn’t be any better, so bear in mind that your engagement ring cannot fail compared to how perfect your relationship is. Engagement rings aren’t only a symbol of love & commitment but must also reflect your taste, personality & lifestyle.
Whether you have chosen the ring of your dreams or you and your future partner have just started to talk about what it should look like, you will want to be fully prepped about the latest Engagement Ring trends before taking that all-important #BridesRings selfie.
If you want to know about the latest engagement ring trends, let’s dive deep into the top ones for 2020. With so many fantastic choices available today, picking one can be confusing.
Now, we at Jewelry Unlimited have rounded up our team of diamond experts and dived into the latest styles, ring buying patterns, and industry predictions. Take a look at what we believe are the most popular engagement ring trends of 2020; here are some recommendations:
1. Oval-Cut Diamonds
The Oval shape is amongst our favorite diamond shapes as it always highlights its carat weight eloquently. With many celebrities sporting this lovely diamond shape (think Blake Lively and Hailey Beiber), oval diamonds have skyrocketed in recent years.
In 2020, we expect this popularity to continue, and we’ll undoubtedly see a surge in oval halo engagement rings. The intricate addition of a halo of diamonds surrounding the ring is quite stunning.
Gorgeously bursting with brilliance, oval-shaped diamonds are elongated in shape, making them appear larger than some other shapes with the same carat weight. The diamond’s shape has no sharp edges, so it is less prone to chipping. Visually, it tends to elongate fingers, making them appear long and slender, which makes them perfect for engagement rings. And with the recent surge in celebrities opting for this beautiful shape, it becomes a beautiful and enduring option for modern brides.
2. Gemstones and Colored Diamonds
Colored diamonds and gemstones are the in-thing for engagement rings in 2020. Most people opt for traditional diamonds, sapphires, rubies, amethysts, and garnets, and solitaire engagement rings are both attractive and unique. You can choose from a myriad of diamonds or gemstones that suit your personality and complement your lifestyle.
Unconventional engagement rings with vibrant gemstones and colored diamonds signal a new wave in this area. It is labeled as alternative engagement rings for couples celebrating their unique relationship rather than adhering to the same old status quo. These engagement rings come in a wide variety of shapes and colors so that you can select from gorgeous garnets to stunning sapphires and more.
You are also going to be seeing a strong comeback of rose gold and yellow gold, as we know a lot of glittering gold out there, and the once-bemoaned metal (we blame Carrie Bradshaw) is set to make a significant return on the hands of the chicest brides-to-be.
3. Multiple Stones
Meghan Markle may have started the multiple stone ring trend with her magnificent sparkler featuring three square-cut diamonds instead of one. It immediately spurred a resurgence of the classic engagement rings. Some designs have also brilliantly evolved to include contemporary touches and include two-diamond and multiple mini diamonds options.
2020 has seen brides-to-be wanting even more diamonds, so you should thank Meghan Markle for the rise in popularity of three-stone engagement rings. Three & five stone rings are also becoming popular choices for engagement rings. These rings cover across the finger with diamonds and look great stacked with wedding bands.
4. Sustainability
In 2020 we have seen a shift towards sustainability and transparency in engagement rings as the younger Millennials & the first of the Gen Zs are preparing to tie the knot. Modern consumers now look to align their values with the brands they patron. Thus the ability to tell an authentic story about where & how their ring is made is becoming increasingly important.
When socially conscious couples purchase engagement rings, environmental concerns and human rights in their production are essential considerations. We also try to follow the path of sustainability, alongside fair-trade sourcing and transparent purchase give buyers verifiable proof of diamonds & colored stones. Taking small steps towards eco-friendly and conflict-free practices, Jewelry Unlimited has come forward with a range of attractive and affordable options.
5. Lab-Grown Diamonds
Due to cutting-edge technological advancements that replicate the natural diamond growing process, lab-grown diamonds are trending considerably with the growing movement to conscious consumerism in the jewelry industry. Not only do they cost a fraction of mined diamonds, but they are also conflict-free, more ethical, and attract Gen Z buyers.
6. Unique, Unique, Unique
Most guys are betting on their brides-to-be, wanting something personal and breaking with tradition. For 2020, we at Jewelry Unlimited believe clients will continue to seek non-traditional rings that feature unusual stones.
We have seen diamond-alternative gemstones for engagement rings rise in popularity over the years, but our experts agree that 2020 is all about continuing that break with tradition. Emerald-Cut Diamonds, black diamonds, unique-shaped diamonds, and non-traditional shapes like open rings are going to be a hit next year too.
7. Open Rings
Some brides are abandoning the center stone altogether and selecting rings with open-ended designs or pave-set bands that reflect the current trend for torque jewelry. These kinds of rings are slender and, with varied designs, make for a fun alternative to the traditional rings. It will allow brides to work with endless combinations of shapes, sizes, and stone cuts. It’ll also create something unique, elegant & comfortable.
8. A Dramatic Stone
Amongst the diamond cuts whose popularity is skyrocketing are the pear & marquise diamonds. For stones, we see a rising interest in pear & marquise diamonds as center stones. When it comes to finding the perfect ring for your partner, the center stone is perhaps the first place many people start. Fancy shaped center stones, including Emerald, Pear, and Marquise, have become increasingly popular in the bygone years and will continue to stay on-trend through 2020.
9. Trio Ring Sets
Celebrate the union of two souls in holy matrimony with our trio ring sets. These sets represent the lifetime promise and commitment of your love to one another. Trio Ring sets have superb designs & craftsmanship, making them the most impressive you can buy and the most affordable.
